Hello all, this is the selection thread for the final movie draft (for real).
Rules are as follows:
- All movies picked in the previous drafts are banned and the banned list is below.
- You must select at least 1 film from each of the following decades: Pre-1970's, 1970's 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010s-present day
- You must select at least 1 film from each of following genres:
Cat 1. Action/War/Western/Adventure
Cat 2. Thriller/Crime/Mystery
Cat 3. Drama/Romance
Cat 4. Comedy
Cat 5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror
Cat 6. Wildcard - Foreign film
Cat 7. Wildcard (pick anything)
I don't want to make this too restrictive so as long as the decade and genre categories are filled, that's good enough. So for example, your wildcard can be for your 1980's film and then you don't need to pick another film from the 1980's.
- Picks are from 9.00am to 11.00pm UK time. 2 hours between picks but if it starts to drag, we'll pick up the pace.
